however.
There is but little cotton in the
Edgefield warehouse-much less I
than was stored during former
years. The majority of people
have sold at the preval mg pric

Letter to An Edgefield Lawyer
EDGEFIKLD, S. C!.
Dear Sir: As your businessMs
to get people into and out of
trouble, suppose you (ousider
their paiut; it makes 'cm almost,
as much trouble as mouey, except
of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good
deal ; they don't mean to; they
don't know any better; they buy
without thiaki ig. Bad paint isu't
good.It looks good-euough for a
year; then begins to get rusty;
but changes so slowly, oue "dou't
notice it.
Looking isn't all."The business
of paint is to keep a house dry
inside, the wood and iron of it;
keep it from rotting and rusting.
Takes good paint to do it.
Good aud bal paint are sold at
one price or about that. One can't
go by the price at all; as with
lawyers, the price has nothing to
do with goodness or badness; and
costs are worse yeti the painter
and sheriff cocne-iu for their Bhare.
But the probability is that a
mau, who paints Devoe, will come
out on top.
Yours truly, .
F. W. DEVOE & Co.,

The sale of the Gray farm in

previously annouLCC-d in error.
In point of fact there had been
no 6ale of the farm .lill Monday

The comm il lee appointed to fix

of the Edgefield Baptist associa
tion veryjwisely decided not to

will be held at Mountain Creek
on Saturday before the otb Sun
day in April.
The Southern has made sonic
changes in the schedules on the
Savannah divia:on that become
effective on Sunday next. The
orly change on the Gap road will
be the departure of the first after
noon train at 1:30 instead of 1:20,
and arrival at 5:00 instead of
3:50. After Sunday those who go
to Augusta for the day will leave
that city on return at 3:30 p. m.
instead of 2:25 as heretofore.
There bas been no chauge in tho
morning or late afternoon tiains.
We would not miss tho figure?
far lo say that millions of bnshids
of cotton seed are sold each sea
son on the Edgefield market. Our
buyers pay the highest market
price which draws the seed from
a great distance. Mr. Taylor, who
has been one of the leading buy
ers for a uumber of years,, bought
and shipped seven car loads of
seed last week. This means much
to our towu. Nearly all of the
cash that is paid out for se *d is
spent with the local merchants,
but little of ir being paid on guau o
o? bank notes.

The members of our Presbyte
rian church, who make up in
quality what they lack in num
bers, are to be congratulated upon
the beautiful appearance of the
interior of their church. After
ceiling overhead and renewing
the plastering on the walls the
committee in charge had all of
the pews beautifully stained. Now
they will not rest till the exterior
of the church has been painted
alsc. This beloved pastor, Rev. T.
P. Burgess,- bas done and is doing
a splendid v ort in this field.
Mr. W. L. Dunovaut has haul
ed more seed cotton to the gin
and Dr. J. G. Tompkins has haul
rie more hay to his barn than any
"town farmers" we have ever seen
before. So continuosly did the
former's wagon haul cotton ';o the
gin last week that some one re
marked to us: "Surely Mr. Duno
vaut bas been buying seed cotton.
He didn't make all of that cotlon".
Dr. Tompkins has housed enough
hay to establish a sanitarium for
horses, having enough feed to
supply all the lame, halt and
blind horses in the county.
It was the writer's pleasure to
attend the uniou meeting at
Steveus'Creek church ou Sunday
last. Tbere we met amid the

the lorenoou we heard some very
appropriate talks by laymen, and
a very earnest, and forceful ser
mon on state missions bj' Rev. P.
P. Blalock..In the afternoon Rev.
G. H. Burton conducted the ser
vices, preaching a very instruc
tive and edifying sermon. The
good people of SL-vejs' Creek,
than whom there ate none better

The volume bf business of the
Edgefield Mercantile Company
has grown and grown and grown.
They not only handle all kinds of
merchandise in laige quantities
but are forced to buy these la'ge
quant il k's often. Mr. J. Ransome
TimmeTrman, the head salesman,
makes regular visits to all of the
very numerous Btoresin our coun
ty and makes large sales of all
classes of goods ou every trip. On
his rounds recently he sold 40,000
loaded shells, also 40 boxes of
raisins and oth?r gjmla ju pro-:
port iou. Heretofore these goods
were bought in Greenwood and
other markets. Tho Mercantile
Company has contributed largely
to tho iucreaae in the volume of
business of our towu bj' bringing
new business here. People now
